Very sad to hear of Lees passing. He molded me into the worker that I am. May he rest in peace.

Dear Rita and all of the Simmons family. May you find the love of God, friends and each other to help you during this most difficult time. Lonnie and I are sending you all our love and hugs.

Rita and family, I'm so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you.

I write this the night before the funeral amid sorrowful thoughts of a life caught short.  My deepest sympathies to you Rita and your children.  I have such great memories of our lives at the home on New Circle when Irma's children were growing up. I know how much Lee loved his family and the pride he had in you all.  God bless you help you through this  tragic time.

I was shocked and and saddened to hear of Lee's death.  I have know Lee since 1984 when I first worked with him on the Company's accounting/taxes.  I feel like I have gotten to know Lee well over the years.  We recently stopped talking about accounting/taxes and spoke more of Lee's love of his family including the new grandchildren. He will be missed.  Let me know if you need anything.

David and I were so terribly shocked and saddened by your loss
All our love and prayers are with, and for, you and your family.
Love, Mary and David Buss

Rita, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God embrace you during this difficult time and give you peace.

My sincere sympathy to Rita and her children.  I was an employee of the company for 10 yrs and Lee considered all of us as friends and family.  Sorry that I will not be able to attend to pay my respects.

So sorry to hear about Lee.  We have moved to rhinelander wi and will not be able to attend the service Please accept our sincere condolences and prayers. Sincerely Jan & Terry Hadsell

Rita, Kevin, Erin and family,

Lee was a wonderful friend and highly respected by all who knew him.  As I have spoken to some of our old college friends, several spoke of how some of us had no real plans, just keep partying until we got out of school and had to deal with life. But Lee had a vision of his plans after school, including marrying the love of his life, the area where he and Rita would first live, etc. He had definite goals.  He was a hard worker, often putting his work life ahead of his personal life.  But he loved the three of you more than anything and he certainly loved his grandchildren immensely. In our conversations, he always brought them up. We are all going to miss him tremendously. Reach out to the Lord now and feel his loving presence during this difficult period.  You will find him in many ways, including through the caring arms of family and friends.

 Dearest Rita: I am so sorry to hear about Lee. Peace, prayers and blessings to you and your family during this most difficult time.
